This board is not keeping up with current times

It's not even about a bias to Bitcoin, the forum generally does not get updated often with the changing times, new Bitcoin related projects like lightening network is yet to get a separate board for discussions, much less a hype project built on fomo.

This appears to be the fact about the forum but then, its way through which the decorum of the forum has been preserved not to update based on trending but after proper scrutiny to be distinctively different from what we have and valid as well, then, you can have an update. Like the one stated by Upgrade00 which has been a base for the creation of boards, which is no different from what is what is mentioned here.

Metaverse and NFT could be a subject to look upto but, I don't think so much of Defi. Defi is more like any other project in the crypto space but, metaverse and NFT is a bit distinct and could sock up other projects across what we have. They all fit under altcoins and could be pinned or made a sticky thread but again, with the probability of several innovations yet to come, this form of behaviour might result to a cloudy board.

This!
The forum cannot create a new board or sticky a new thread for every new trend that bumps into the crypto scene who's enthusiasts need some validation. There's a board currently for any discussion one may want to have related to cryptocurrencies and even much broader topics; this should serve for all the topics one may want to make, except a situation comes when one of such boards becomes so cluttered with a particular theme, showing it is a very salient topic at that time and needs a much broader space to accommodate discussions, then I think, would a proposal for a board be entertained.

This is bitcointalk.org which is mostly based around, believe it or not, bitcoin. There are plenty of other spaces for people interested in shitcoins, tokens & criminally overpriced, pixelated JPEG images.

If you don’t like it here, you can find something more suited to your needs.

Bitcointalk is the biggest place for crypto industry. I tend to agree with the OP that this is not year 2017 anymore. We can use some additional boards. Not saying that all the boards he is requesting, but for NFT craze we may use an additional board.

Have any of you tried to report to the moderators for locking this thread? I seem to think the question about this new subboard has been asked several times in every altcoin hype so far, but in the end all proposals were ignored as the hype was only temporary. We're not outdated, OP. Admin and moderators won't easily accept such requests if they don't see it as something that can be sustained on an ongoing basis. Altcoin discussion may still be quite suitable for your suggestion.
